I don't think anybody is saying something will persist for eternity. The brain is made of 200bn neurons and something like a hundred trillion connections. That's the most complicated structure in the universe. It is reasonable to assume that there is no new physics involved unless and until we've figured out how it all fits together and still can't work out where the illusion of qualia is coming from. Otherwise you might as well say there's a supernatural soul. Positing a new ingredient without evidence is just fantasy.

Objects don't move, their wavefunctions evolve according to the Schrödinger equation, and in the classical limit where the objects are large enough and the fields they interact with are smooth enough, they appear to follow Newton's laws.
In fact, Google should prosecute the US government.
Offshoring did 90% of that, not computers.

The effect of computerization was just to keep some industrial production at home - mostly the unique kind of manufacturing where labor costs weren't dominant.

I think the US is in for an epic shock in few years time when they realize just how much getting cut off from Chinese factories will hurt.

Either demand for labor to substitute those Chinese factories will spike or the US will economically spiral as inflation takes off like a rocket and US elites try yet again to shift the burden onto the politically impotent working classes.

Of course not, they’re literally `noexcept`, what they do is UB if empty.

> Seems kind of pointless. A flight controller that can run JavaScript fast enough would be a waste of resources.

According to the docs (for both this and the Johnny-Five project), the JS ONLY runs on a PC-class computer. You connect your IoT device to the computer that is running the JS program, and the JS program then controls the device. The IoT device must be tethered to a PC of some sort.

I'm guessing that controlling PC does things like "set GPIO-$X to input", "read GPIO-$X, "set GPIO-$Y to output", "write GPIO-$Y", "read ADC-$A", etc.

Maybe they designed their custom protocol to also handle time-constraints (like clocking a signal at a certain frequency on a particular pin), or maybe counting transitions on a digital input for specific duration, so that you can mostly do what you'd expect to, but I wouldn't bet on it.

My understanding of these types of projects is that they don't compile the input into a state-machine that is downloaded to the device; they send each instruction as and when it occurs.

This is especially problematic considering that the example in linked page is for a drone taking off, flying, then landing 10s later. You better hope that your drone doesn't ascend so fast in that 10s that it is out of range by the time the `land` command is issued.

SK is clearly punching up a lot and performing very well on the export market, but in real number terms, SK is still trailing both France and Germany in arms exports (though clearly SK appears to be trending upwards). It seems very likely to me that SK (~2% of global exports) can probably overtake Germany (~5%) relatively soon, but it's still quite a journey to get to France (~10%).

https://www.sipri.org/sites/default/files/2024-03/fs_2403_at...

French defense spending, strategy, and export has always been... less aligned with US interests. SK's recent resurgence in popular awareness is in part due to the alignment between Ukraine's situation and SK's situation (ie, artillery production). France's defense industry has been aligning towards French interests for the last few decades (ie, maintain high end halo products like Rafale, FREMM, and also have equipment suitable for expeditionary war in Africa). Similarly with SK... just that SK's situation involved huge amounts of artillery.

Especially with the inclusion of Sweden and Finland, I think it is quite difficult to speak of a single "European NATO". I think there's a clear east-west split in terms how you hear American analysts speak of NATO. It's not really possible to criticize the activity of most of the eastern NATO countries.
"Winning" a national lab definitely confers benefits far beyond just financial ones – these are, by definition, the biggest deployments in the world.

A lot of enterprises define “country” as “has its own ISO 3166-1 country code”. ISO 3166-1 includes 249 entries: sovereign states, their dependent territories, and “areas of special geographic interest” (e.g. Antarctica).

The English term “country” is ambiguous. In a narrow sense it means only sovereign states, but in a broader sense includes overseas territories and even some subnational divisions (e.g. the four countries that make up the UK)
You're describing what it would do in a sane world where WG21 cared about safety.

In this world, as the document you've linked says: "The behavior is undefined if *this does not contain a value."

The operators for such access are actually `noexcept` - the exception you're apparently relying on would be illegal.
Yeah... That hits pretty much the spot that makes me fear/sad.

> Do you believe Tauri can survive without a direct corporate backing, while Flutter can't?

Currently, I think tauri can survive yes. But I know much deeper the tauri community than flutter, where I’m just speculating as a bystander.

In fact, Tauri losing money would be much less bad than losing 1-3 of the core workhorses that are volunteers primarily afaik. This in fact is the biggest risk, imo. If any of them stop working it's gonna be really hard to recover, because they’re so autonomous and make sensible decisions.

But mostly flutter seems like a much more ambitious project, because they define UI and rely on Dart. Tauri and electron piggyback on browsers which imo is strategically and technically the only reasonable way to do it long term. They can almost exclusive focus on cross platform issues (which btw is an enormous undertaking on its own).
I get to choose the pain of working hard.

This is in contrast to being weak, and letting the strong decide my pain.
I find the support for Arrowhead surprising. They went into business with Sony and allowed this. The CEO tweeting "We just want to make gaaameeees" is such a weak ass excuse. Take some responsibility for your choices.

> It must be terrible to be Arrowhead; they have to sit by and watch while their player base implodes because of a Sony edict.

Or, you know, don't make agreements that will upset your player base? I'm sure they never were forced to do anything Sony says, except if they entered into a business agreement with Sony, which again, is their own choice, and the developer knew about these requirements from the beginning, but made the requirement optional as they didn't get the technical details right at launch to require PSN.

It must great to be Arrowhead, where players seemingly blame the publisher like the developer has no responsibility over their own game.

All of what Pete says is true.

But, it doesn't sound like you're short business in the first place, so what I'm saying isn't relevant.

I was thinking about this yesterday haha! :) Reflected on my experience of being hired or going through the process at many places and I just think it could be so much better.

I decided that the way I'm going to hire people going forward is going to be much different. From my own work I realize the most important motivation people have is not money, but intrinsic motivation.

I think we're really looking for people who get that spark in their eyes, who are passionate and excited about something. I think my job as a hiring manager is to understand that, understand what motivates them, and align that with what we need! Haha :)
That is interesting. Before I finished reading your post I was confused because immigration seems to be good.

I think this article is drastically downplaying how dramatically more complicated designs and things are now than they were before.

I don't believe it's computers that are to blame; I believe it's complexity nightmare problem.

We have much tighter tolerances for everything now; everything "does more" and relies on my components.

Back when we used pen and paper to create military vehicles it was mostly JUST about performance and completing the objective. There wasn't thousands upon thousands of other requirements and features (whether or not this is a good thing is debatable).

In my opinion it's not a good idea to use chatbots in the medical/self-help space. Poor treatment (a session) could damage somebody's life. Therapists are supposed to be people 1) that we can trust; 2) people with which we can talk about sensitive topics; and 3) people that can understand nuanced social situations. It's not clear to me that chatbots fit these requirements.

I mean, it's easy to make money giving advice. But there should be some level of accountability if the person giving the advice is supposed to be an expert who is looking out for us. Personally I think a big component of therapy is just being heard by another human being.

Going back to your post though, you indicated that your chatbot would have a narrower responsibility? If that's the case, then you should advertise it as such and not call it a therapist.

Helldivers 2 on ps5 requires at least a paid psn membership. In order to do that, a payment needs to be on file.

This is just purely a guess, but I suppose Sony doesn’t have the appropriate licenses to operate in those countries and thus cannot take payment.

They could take payment via ps gift cards but that user would have have to fraudulently claim they are located in another country and buy ps gift cards from that country to get the credits.

Depending on country, user may pay more or less than what it would retail in user country.
Show HN: Find local homestays in developing countries
This is a platform that connects travelers with vetted family homestays in developing countries, facilitating unique cultural experiences while generating revenue for local communities.

It was inspired by my experiences living with host families in various parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America while studying abroad and working in international development. These homestays were transformative for me, generated life-changing income for the hosts, and enabled friendships that bridged culture and circumstance.

Right now it is hard for travelers to find this type of experience, as most short-term accommodation platforms prioritize professional rentals and use payment systems that are hard for ordinary people in developing countries to access. Adventure Homestay aims to fill this gap in the market and provide local host family accommodation options to tourists, students and volunteers looking to experience local culture and make a positive impact in the communities they visit.

The product is about two months old and launching for the first time. I spent the last few weeks working with prospective host families in Cuba, so most of the initial listings are from that country.

- Postgres documentation is one of the well maintained database documentations. This also means that developers, committers ensure changes to documentations for every relevant patch.

- talk about bugs in postgres compared to MySQl or Oracle or etc databases. Bugs are comparatively lesser or generally rare even if you are supporting postgres services as a vendor with lots of customers. the reason is the efforts involved by a strong team of developers in not accepting anything and everything, there are strict best practices, reviews, discussions, tests, and a lot more that makes it difficult for a patch or a feature to make it to a release.

- ultimately, more easy is the acceptance of a patch, more the number of bugs.

I love Postgres the way it is today and it still is the dbms of the year and developers most loved database.

I wish we have more Contributors, committers, developers and also users and companies supporting Postgres so that the time to push a feature gets more faster and reasonably easier with more support.
